Supporters ignite when awarding tickets to the UEFA Champions League

Football fans turned to social media to express their frustration over the number of tickets to the Champions League final allocated to the general sale.

UEFA confirmed Thursday morning that 38,000 tickets would be on sale for the public, including 34,000 to be shared between the supporters of the two finalists.

But considering the fact that Wanda Metropolitano of Atletico Madrid, the venue of the decisive match, will have a capacity of 63,500 places for the final, the magnitude of the allocation has caused the ". indignation.

A total of 25,500 tickets were "awarded to the local organizing committee, UEFA and national badociations, business partners and broadcasters".

For the first time since 2009, four Premier League clubs are among the last eight.

Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham will all be in the hat when the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League takes place in Switzerland on Friday morning.

Everyone's fans will hope that their team will be able to reach the final in Madrid on June 1st.

Naturally, supporters who had hoped for an early summer getaway in the Spanish capital to see their team in action were disappointed.

We wrote on Twitter: "17,000 tickets for each team in the final of the Champions League is a joke."

Other fans have pointed to the disappointing number of season ticket holders disappointed if a Premier League club qualified for the final – especially considering most organized cut ticket programs.

"The finalists of the Champions League will be awarded ONLY 17,000 tickets per team!" a supporter tweeted.

"The demand from season subscribers will be a serious challenge for most major clubs."

Another commented on the number of tickets that will go to UEFA's friends and their partners. "25,500 slots reserved for UEFA friends, that's ridiculous," they wrote.

"Talk about killing the atmosphere of the game."

However, among them, a supporter of Liverpool suggested that City would struggle to sell $ 17,000.

"So if the city wins the final, the tickets should not be a problem," wrote a Twitter user.

And at least one City fan has seen the fun side. "Thank you for believing we can go all the way to the final ", they tweeted.
